Managing Product Inventory in CS-Cart

 Access Your Admin Panel

Log into your CS-Cart admin dashboard with the correct credentials.

 Navigate to the Product Section

Go to:
Products > Products
Select an existing product or create a new one.

 Enable Inventory Tracking

In the product settings under the Quantity tab:

• Check the box for Track inventory.

• Enter the In stock quantity for the item.

This enables CS-Cart to automatically manage the inventory count.

 Use Advanced Options (Optional)

For more control:

• Use product variations to track inventory per size, color, or other options.
